You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

The fedex driver who keeps canceling my delivery. I don't even understand why. The reason listed is "local delivery restriction - delivery not attempted", and then they reschedule the delivery for the next day and then cancel it again.

What if I was calling off work for this? It requires a signature so I literally have to be home all day waiting for them to show up, only to have them cancel every time. There is no restriction, this doesn't make sense. I honestly feel like the driver doesn't know where the apartments are located.

What makes me even more frustrated is the local fedex pickup is 1 mile from here but they won't allow me to select "hold at fedex location".

Spoiler

yeah yeah I know, better call someone

It's an item I don't even want. I'm being forced to upgrade my phone because 2G is being phased out. So frustrating (and kinda ironic now that I think of it)

it gets better, after another full day of waiting for the delivery, the online tracker finally updated to say "delivered" today, and yet I have no package. Someone apparently signed for it too. This is a nightmare

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Sounds weird they wouldn't even want to drop it off somewhere. And after awhile it just gets randomly dropped off/signed for at a completely different location than the one they've been going to for past ___ days lol. Speaking of that, reminds me of the cable people. The company is like "they'll be there between 9am and 4pm" lol, that's a BIG window. Basically, they just expect you to wait around all day in middle of week for someone to fix your cable.


Just thought of one since it happened like 10-20 minutes ago. Door to door sales people in general are annoying. Ones who come here have something against my screen/storm door lol. It's not perfect/100% reliable, but it still locks. But somehow when they come to knock,they pull on the handle and the door doesn't open(because it's locked.....), and keep on pulling and pulling and pulling until they manage to pry it open, just to knock on the main door. Ya, go ahead and basically break the screen door constantly just to knock on the main door. If a door is locked, it's LOCKED, doesn't mean you have to pry it open just to knock.

You've had door to door sales people pull on your door handle and try to get into your house? That's some scary stuff, almost criminal. I don't know how I would react if I was watching TV and a salesman just waltzed into my house.

I think he meant the screen door before the main door

lol, I meant the screen door before the main door. They wanted to knock on the main door instead of the outside screen door, but don't realize a screen door that doesn't open means it's LOCKED. Not the same person doing it I presume, cause various times over the months I've seen different people feel the need to pull hard on the screen door to get it to open.

It's Canada. No one locks their doors. That's normal.

Oh. Just imagined the facial expressions if an ATT guy just wandered into the house trying to push phone service on you .

MMORPGs that require you to buy the game full price and pay a monthly subscription. Black Desert Online got it right, but something like FFXVI, while interesting is 12$ a month. Elder Scrolls Online dropped their monthly charge recently as well.

Being behind someone in a franchised fast food line that has no idea what they want and continuously ask the cashier/person working "do you have....."

A job that I used to love now feeling like a prison and I want out.

Ditto to a T. Loved my job, and my boss but because of a dumb re-org I got a new boss who's a complete jerk.

Same exact job but because of him alone I want out.

I am a retail business manager that services Shoprite supermarkets for 10 years. I had a route of 11 stores that I had been servicing for the last 6. Stores all loved me and the work I did for them. Gave me free reign to do whatever I needed to do because they trusted me.

One of my co-workers was promoted to supervisor a few months ago,
and out of nowhere I received an email last Saturday morning telling me starting Monday I will be doing a route of 10 stores for another ownership group of stores in New Jersey. No notice whatsoever. No chance tell the stores I was servicing. Nothing. The stores I were doing were either local or in the Philly area. Now I am driving almost 100 miles a day and going to stores that don't know me, have different rules and a different way of doing things. No more free reign to do what I know how to do and am damn good at.

I even got bitched at the other day for what time I left for the day. Left at 1:55 and my recap for the day said 2:15. How did he know? He was sitting in the parking lot of the store I was at. Didn't even tell me he was coming. If he did I would have obviously stuck around a little longer.

I get reimbursed for mileage and tolls so the way I look at it is my clock starts the minute the ignition is turned in my car. I have been leaving my house at 6:30 in the morning this week. At least an hour drive each morning. If you are paying me for drive time then my trip is the first hour of my day. Hour ride there, 6 hours in stores, hour ride home. If they don't like that then don't pay me for my driving.

The actual in store part of my job I enjoy, but all this new garbage can take a hike. I want out now.

About to go through the same. My manager is about 50/50 on whether he'd stay our manager or get reorged over the other part of our team that is likely to be split off. If that happens, I move up, but not to full on manager. I don't always agree with my current manager, but he pretty much let's me do what I want and trusts me to run things. He's also pretty generous when it comes to getting you paid when you excel. He already has a list of names of those he would not want to be over my team, and I sure hope he shares with me if one of those names does wind up in charge.

There are a select group of people I work with that would be able to keep me there for awhile, but I'd really have to consider moving on if it didn't go the way I'd want. Getting reorged could move me up, but I could end up reporting to someone I can't stand to work for.
